There are some pretty obvious drawbacks to this that you seem to be deliberately ignoring.
For example, in cases where this competitive advantage is gained through means that cause what a reasonable person would considered an excess of human suffering and the relevant US laws prevent the actions that gain that competitive advantage in exchange for human suffering, does it make sense to submit that this human suffering is just a fact of life or would it be better to attempt to eliminate that suffering?
- tastyfreeze 5y agoI had thought of those cases but didn't mention them as I feel most people would agree that those are "good" laws and accept the consequences. However, there are currently vastly more laws and regulations that do not fit in that category. There is a lot of space between sacrificing decency and removing law/regulation cruft to improve competitiveness.
